  1. RSI rapid sequence intubation question

    AmiK25 replied to BFE/RN's topic in Emergency

    AmiK25 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

  9. yes, again, to CCRN or not ?

    AmiK25 replied to dfk's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with midwestern....I just don't see a good reason to spend that much money to recert while in school. As a poor RNSA drowning in student loan debt, I let my CCRN lapse. Now, I do think it...

    AmiK25 replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, you're right...six months is probably closer to being accurate! I definitely still have days when I am all thumbs and feel like I don't know what I am doing, but it is getting better each day....

  14. Any words of wisdom welcomed.

    AmiK25 replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  17. Trouble with Narcan

    AmiK25 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    AmiK25 replied to ggm's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
